Greg Ebbeck is a third-generation cattleman from the NSW Southern Highlands, with over 50 years experience breeding seedstock cattle on his Six Star Speckle Park property at Bundanoon. The former renowned Hereford stud breeder first came across the Speckle Park breed in Canada back in the early 2000s.
He imported the first Speckle Park embryos and semen to Australia, was involved in establishing the breed society for Australia and New Zealand, and used various means to help market the new breed on Aussie soil. Greg has bred and exhibited hundreds of champion cattle at major livestock shows and carcase competitions here and overseas, and he has exported and imported genetics and live cattle to all parts of the globe. Greg is a highly-regarded international judge of beef cattle and has had a lifelong passion for the development of beef cattle genetics.
Greg shares his story of introducing the Speckle Park breed to Australia, the trials and tribulations of those early years, and what he views as the breed’s biggest attributes. It’s all about the meat!
“It’s the best steak in the world. We had so many times where we did taste tests. It didn’t matter where we went, people would say, ‘that is the best piece of steak I’ve ever eaten.’”
